Johnny Manziel reportedly has a friend he refers to as ‘Turtle’

Johnny Manziel has been described by many as the real-life Vinny Chase. For those of you who inexplicably are not fans of the HBO hit series “Entourage,” Vincent Chase is the main character in the show. He is/was an actor who parlayed his fame and fortune into a life of luxury with his childhood friends always in tow. One of said friends goes by “Turtle” in the show.

Earlier this spring, I wrote that Manziel is a cross between a Dan Jenkins character and Vinny Chase. In truth, Manziel’s living the Entourage life right now for real. (He even refers to one of his best friends as “Turtle.”)

The key is for him to keep it under control. Manziel comes from a wealthy family, so he has the resources to enjoy many of the finer things in life — even if it means hearing criticism from fans who accuse him of taking improper benefits. Texas A&M has spoken to Manziel about his post-Heisman behavior, and he seems to have toned it down a bit. That doesn’t mean the friend he refers to as “Turtle” isn’t still enjoying the good life.
